In the high Andean grasslands 4,500 meters above sea level, Quechua alpaca herders live on the edges of glaciers that have retreated more rapidly in the past fifty years than at any point in the previous six millennia. Women are the primary herders, and their specialized knowledge and skill is vital to the ability of high-elevation communities to survive in changing climatic conditions. In the past decade, however, these herders and their animals have traversed a rapidly shifting terrain. Drawing on the Quechua concept of k'ita, or restlessness, Restless Ecologies: Climate Change and Socioecological Futures in the Peruvian Highlands (University of Arizona Press, 2025) explores how herders in the community of Chillca in the Cordillera Vilcanota mountain range of the southeastern Peruvian Andes sense and make sense of changing conditions. Capricious mountains, distracted alpacas, and wayward children deviate from their expected spatial and temporal trajectories. When practices of sociality start to fall apart--when animals no longer listen to herders' whistles, children no longer visit their parents, and humans no longer communicate with mountains--these failures signal a broader ecological instability that threatens the viability of the herder's world. For more than two years, the author herded alongside the women of the Cordillera Vilcanota, observing them and talking with them about their interactions with their animals, landscapes, and neighbors. Emphasizing the importance of Indigenous knowledge and traditional ecological practices, Caine argues that Quechua understandings of restlessness align with and challenge broader theoretical understandings of what it is to be vulnerable in a time of planetary crisis.

In this episode of The Free Radical Podcast, Swami Padmanabha sits down with a dear friend and brother, Sanan—a servant leader, community builder, and deep listener whose presence speaks as powerfully as his words. Sanan has been walking a spiritual path since 1977, learning from a wide range of teachers and traditions. In 2009, he was guided to bring the grace he had received into lived, practical expression by moving to the Peruvian Andes. There, he founded and continues to lead a nonprofit service organization, including a school and multiple projects serving his village and surrounding Indigenous mountain communities. Together, Swami and Sanan explore what it means to return to village—not only as a social structure, but as an inner pattern of life: learning how to accompany one another through grief, love, and shared humanity. The conversation moves through themes of grief and mourning, the deeper meaning of love, and the subtle ways spirituality can become another mask if it is not embodied and honest. They reflect on Krishna—the sweetness of His name, His līlā, and how to connect with divine play in the here and now—while emphasizing a spirituality that is grounded, relational, and free from escapism or bypassing. At the heart of it all is a call to demonstrate love and dedication in the immediacy of daily life and real relationships. This is an invitation into an ongoing dialogue—between ourselves, with one another, and with reality itself. https://youtu.be/kz3Bs-J-uGg ▶ CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION: Gaudiya Reform Forum on Facebook .~ Swami Padmanabha's Channels ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ YOUTUBE ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ WEBSITE ▶ PURCHASE RADICAL PERSONALISM: Revival Manifesto for Proactive Devotion in hardcover, paperback, and/or Kindle formats on Amazon ▶ WRITE your REVIEW of RADICAL PERSONALISM ~ Tadatmya Sangha's Channels ▶ WEBSITE ▶ FACEBOOK ▶ INSTAGRAM ▶ YOUTUBE

Kate Adie presents stories from Gaza and Israel, the US, Lesotho, Taiwan and Peru.This week the British government pledged to recognise a Palestinian state, unless Israel meets certain conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire in Gaza and reviving the prospect of a two-state solution. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the decision rewarded 'Hamas's monstrous terrorism.' Jeremy Bowen reflects on this latest chapter in Britain's long-standing influence in the region.At the UN, Saudi Arabia and France co-hosted a summit to rekindle plans for a two-state solution as a means to find peace between Israel and the Palestinians. Dozens of countries were in attendance - others were notable for their absence. Tom Bateman reports from New York.Donald Trump once claimed Lesotho was a country ‘nobody has heard of' – but it has been feeling the pinch of his trade policy. While the White House rowed back on its threat of imposing 50 per cent tariffs, the uncertainty has already led to many job losses, finds Shingai Nyoka.Taiwan's president William Lai suffered a major setback last weekend, in a recall vote that had been aimed at removing twenty-four opposition lawmakers - yet failed to unseat any of them. James Crabtree reflects on how Taiwan's characteristically flamboyant campaigning style was markedly absent in this latest vote.And finally, many of our staple foods are at risk because of increasingly frequent extreme weather - including the humble potato. But some farmers are tracing the crop's ancient roots in search of solutions to help mitigate the risks, as Beth Timmins has been finding out in the Peruvian Andes.Series Producer: Serena Tarling Production Coordinators: Sophie Hill & Katie Morrison Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

In 1985, everyone who knew Joe Simpson believed he was dead. At just 25 years old, Joe and his climbing partner, Simon Yates, became the first people to scale the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. Tragically, on the way down, Joe fell and broke his leg. As Simon tried to help him descend, Joe fell again—this time into a massive crevasse. It seemed certain he was lost forever and Simon returned to base camp, grieving the loss of his friend.But then, three days later, Joe crawled back into camp. He had survived. Despite frostbite, exhaustion, infection, and permanent damage to his leg, Joe was alive. His story is almost too incredible to believe.We've all heard stories like this—accounts of survival or hope that seem impossible. But perhaps the most unbelievable story of all is the resurrection of Jesus.Jesus was crucified by professional Roman executioners, buried in a tomb, and three days later he rose from the dead. As unbelievable as that may sound, even more astonishing is the claim that his resurrection has the power to transform lives—even today, 2,000 years later.

As founder of New Paths Expeditions, Jorge has crafted extraordinary journeys to 58 destinations across our planet's most remote corners while personally visiting over 102 unique locations.Jorge's adventure began in the Peruvian Andes, traveling treacherous mountain roads with his family to connect with their ancestral culture. His grandfather's worldwide travels and gift of National Geographic magazines sparked a passion that later flourished when Jorge discovered rock climbing while studying in Chile. A chance opportunity replacing an ailing guide in Patagonia launched his career leading global expeditions, eventually rising to leadership positions in major travel companies before founding New Paths Expeditions, now celebrating its tenth anniversary.What sets Jorge's approach apart is his dedication to balancing nature with authentic cultural immersion. While his small groups of 10-12 travelers witness spectacular wildlife in destinations like the Pantanal (jaguars), Madagascar (lemurs), and Papua New Guinea (birds of paradise), they also experience meaningful human connections. Jorge arranges cooking classes with local grandmothers, private lectures with renowned archaeologists, and spontaneous "pop-up opportunities" like visiting Berber nomad camps. His 27-year relationship with Papua New Guinea has made him an honorary member of two indigenous clans, giving his groups unparalleled access to one of Earth's most fascinating cultural frontiers, where people maintaining Stone Age traditions simultaneously navigate the modern world with smartphones.Whether you're captivated by wildlife photography, cultural anthropology, or simply seeking experiences that transcend ordinary tourism, Jorge's philosophy of adventure as "discovery" offers a refreshing perspective on meaningful travel.

Angela welcomes Anna Hunt, who shares her journey from a successful career in journalism to becoming a shamanic practitioner, exploring the profound connection between energy, thoughts, and our physical well-being. Together, they talk about the significance of Einstein's theory of E=mc², emphasising how everything is energy and how our perceptions shape our reality. Anna discusses the importance of maintaining "clean energy" and offers practical tips for detoxing our energy through mindfulness, gratitude, and sound healing. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of E=mc² illustrates that everything in life is energy, and our thoughts and feelings can manifest our reality. By shifting our energy, we can change our perceptions and experiences in daily life. Being present and focusing on positive experiences can significantly impact our emotional state. Practicing gratitude and mindfulness helps us to appreciate the moment and enhances our interactions with others. Techniques such as spending time in nature, practicing gratitude, and using sound healing can help detoxify our energy. This process allows us to release unhelpful thoughts and emotions, leading to a more balanced and harmonious state. The body serves as a true autobiography of our lives, holding onto emotions and experiences. Unlike the mind, which can distort memories and stories, the body provides honest feedback about our emotional and physical states. BEST MOMENTS "Everything with mass, matter is energy and that energy is the building block of life." "If we can find ways to shift our own energy, our external experience of life will resonate differently with us." "The body is the true autobiography of our lives. The mind's recording and memory is highly subjective." "If you start the day with the right energy, your day will manifest in a different direction."

This included studying the 20,000 year old healing traditions of the Peruvian Andes with a healer and former Head Archaeologist of Machu Picchu..For 18 years she visited Peru annually until he pronounced her a Dona, a master healer.

As the impacts of the climate crisis hit harder and more frequently, the effects this has on human health also multiply. It is key that urban areas plan and adapt to meet the growing challenges of temperature rise, food insecurity, migration, and more. Of course, extreme weather events often have the most catastrophic consequences for humanity, leading to mass displacement, injury, disease and death. But if the worst happens, it is possible for cities and their residents to unite and rebuild to create a more resilient future…and other communities can learn lessons from their leadership.

Our guest today is Paloma Farkas from Bishop California. Paloma is only 25 years old, but she already has 6 years of guiding under her belt. Right after she graduated from high school, her parents gifted her a NOLS backcountry rock course at the Wind River Range. Paloma then listened to the callings of mountains and followed her heart towards alpine rock climbing and started her guiding career.Paloma grew up in Seattle, Washington where she discovered her passion for the mountains through family backpacking and climbing trips in the Cascades. In 2017 she traveled to South America and fell in love with the granite towers of Patagonia. Since then she has split her time between Patagonia, Chile and the US. Paloma spends as much time as possible climbing and some of her favorite areas are Patagonia, the Peruvian Andes, the Cascades, Indian Creek, the Wind River Range, and the High Sierras. Her favorite type of climbing is big wall alpine climbing, but Paloma also enjoys single pitch trad and sport climbing, bouldering and ice climbing. When Paloma isn't pursuing her own climbing goals, she finds fulfillment in sharing her passion with others and teaching the skills necessary to be self-sufficient in the mountains. She is currently an AMGA Rock Guide, Apprentice Alpine Guide, Wilderness First Responder, AIARE Avalanche Pro 1, and Leave No Trace Trainer.I admire Paloma's attitude of going for it when she knows what she wants. She works hard and remains optimistic. We had so much laughter during our conversation and I know you'll laugh with us too when you listen to this episode.

You know my idea of fun? You're expecting me to say sex, drugs, and rock ‘n' roll, wild parties, cocaine-fuelled late-night debauchery! Guilty as charged... that sounds like a bit of me. But no, my idea of fun is a map. I've got a huge, detailed one on my wall. Winkle triple projection, Pacific-centred, of course. I can wile away hours, whole afternoons, intercontinental flights, just staring at a map. And when you stare at a detailed map, you're drawn to curiosities. To extremes. And naturally of course you're drawn into imagining or fantasising what those places might be like in-person, rather than simple a coordinate on your wall. There are three remote, extreme, curious places on Earth I've always fantasised about seeing. One is La Rinconada, the highest permanently populated town in the World. It's in the Peruvian Andes, a grim, freezing mining town with a violent crime problem and where a slab of the residents may or may not have mercury poisoning. It's higher than Everest Base Camp. And if YouTube is anything to go by, it is about as far from a few nights at Denarau as it's possible to be. The next are the Kerguelen Islands, aka the Desolation Islands, a vast 7000km2 archipelago in the sub-Antarctic. It's home to amazing wildlife and a few dozen French scientists. And it's huge! The main island is 150km long and 120km wide. Have you ever heard of it? It's one of the most remote places on Earth. And my final isle of intrigue is Diego Garcia. My Dad first told me about it as a kid. Imagine a point in the middle of the Indian Ocean, below India and about halfway between Tanzania and Bali. For decades, Diego Garcia has been home to one of the most mysterious and secretive military bases on the planet. Its strategic location, its military runway, its fleet of long-range bombers and its ability to reload submarines with weapons make it hugely important to the U.S and the U.K. But that only came about by a brutal history. Although Diego Garcia had no indigenous population, enslaved people were brought there to work on coconut plantations, and over several centuries developed their own language and culture. In the 1960s, the Brits decided to kick them out. In order to develop the military base, they forcibly evicted all of the local population to Mauritius and the Seychelles. For decades since, Mauritius has fought for the island and its surrounding archipelago. Chaggosians, as people from the Chaggos Islands are known, have fought to return to their home. But I've always assumed I would never be able to go. The island is rumoured to be a CIA black site. According to a recent BBC report, only three journalists have ever visited. One pretended to have a boat problem and was only there for an hour and half. Another stopped to refuel in a Presidential plane. The most recent visitor had to agree to incredible restrictions on her reporting, was barred from numerous areas and accompanied by minders at all times. But yesterday came news from Diego Garcia. After years of terse negotiations and an ongoing legal dispute regarding a group of Tamil asylum seekers being detained on the island, the U.K and Mauritius announced sovereignty of Diego Garcia and the other Chaggos Islands will be passed to Mauritius. Will it mean the Chagossians can return? Probably not. Under the deal, the long-range bombers, submarines, and the base will remain for at least the next century. Its official status might have changed, but for those of us who trace the atoll across the World on our office wall, Diego Gacia will be no more accessible, and no less mysterious.

People thought that it was impossible, that he would die trying; and they were nearly right. He was attacked by a tribe of angry machete wielding indigenous peoples, he faced Narco drug traffickers and giant anacondas. But gradually, step by step, over the course of two and half years, through some of the toughest and deadliest terrain on the planet, he proved them all wrong. Ed crossed the entire continent from the Peruvian Andes, and the furthest known source of the Amazon, to Brazil, where the river flows into the Atlantic Ocean, more than 4,000-miles away. He is the first person in history to do it, and holds a Guinness World Record for the achievement. This is one of the boldest expeditions ever attempted, and one of the greatest adventure tales ever told. Are you ready to head into the jungle? Let's go. Highlights include: · Hear how Ed survived being surrounded by an angry tribe of indigenous peoples intent on hacking him to pieces · Find out how he crossed the infamous Red Zone, a lawless area of the jungle controlled by drug-traffickers · Climb with him to the 18,000-foot summit of Nevado Mismi, in the Peruvian Andes, the furthest known source of the Amazon · Meet the Ashaninka, the largest indigenous tribe in the Amazon Basin, and hear how Ed ended up befriending two tribal chiefs and walking with them for more than 6 weeks. · Discover what it takes to complete such a long and grueling expedition – 860 days walking through some of the toughest jungle terrain on the planet · Hear his personal story of transformation.

In this episode, Mariah welcomes Caro Arevalo, a Peruvian visual artist, to discuss her journey, art, and connection with nature. Caro shares her unique process of creating art inspired by the microscopic world, the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom, and her reflections on intertwining spirituality and science. The conversation delves into the significance of indigenous wisdom, reciprocity, and the role of art and creativity in fostering a deeper relationship with nature and humanity. Caro Aravelo is a Peruvian visual artist based in Woodstock, NY. Her artwork is embodied in exploring the plant and fungi kingdoms as seen with our naked eyes and through the microscopes; the taxonomy and physicality of living beings as well as the invisible yet powerful spirit and consciousness each of them carries. Her work starts by doing research in nature, followed by capturing it under microscopes and then starting to work on paintings that express these microscopic observations as well as what has been recorded in the field. Her family comes from the jungle in Peru and through her Amazonian heritage, Caro embraces the notion that we are all connected, the importance of rituals and ancestral wisdom, and embracing our unity with nature in our daily lives. Through her paintings and videos she invites us to cultivate more love towards ourselves and our planet in order to stay creative, curious and aligned with our purpose in the world.   In This Episode: Caro Arevalo | www.carolina-arevalo.com Discount code "fourvisions" |  @caro.arevalo | Youtube cafeinacoli Mariah Gannessa | @mariahgannessa   Today's episode is sponsored by Clareia Das Aguas (FVFAMILY for 10%).  Luminous Channeled Creations from the Garden. ✨

"What has gone wrong on a major scale that human beings aren't relishing life?" Brothers & sisters, are you ready for that FIRE energy?! Today I'm speaking with Chrissie Fire Mane. Co-Founder of MANA, Chrissie has always been guided by the excitement of empowering people to be creators. Named 'chaqaruna' or Bridge-Person by the Q'ero, Wisdom Keepers of the Andes, Chrissie's north star is activating and rewilding humanity with modern and indigenous wisdom, reminding people of what is already inside but forgotten or suppressed. Chrissie has been facilitating transformational weekends, workshops and retreats around the world intensively since 2012, moving online also in 2017. The journey of motherhood has greatly shaped Chrissie's path, raising her two wild children travelling the world and sitting in sacred ceremonies, learning from elders. She has roots in activism, beginning at Greenpeace in the Press Office in the UK in 2000, combining her passions for communications with service, has launched numerous campaigns in frontline activism mainly in water conservation and more recently served on the New Earth Council as part of the Humanitad Foundation. As an artist, Chrissie was signed to Virgin Records, has toured and created albums and continues to use her love of poetry, singing and frequency to complement her style of leadership. Her spiritual path led her to the Peruvian Andes in 2012 where she was initiated as Chullu Chaqera, or Sweat Lodge Mama Qona in 2017. Simply, Chrissie draws from conscious motherhood and indigenous tradition to inspire her community back to the natural truth of things. I'm in awe of the polarity of Chrissie's being, the open-heartedness AND stability, power and discernment that she brings into the world. Let me know how this co-creation lands with you. I love that you're here.

The popularity of biking has grown over the past few years. There was a surge in ridership in the United States in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a 120% increase in sales when compared to the previous year.Since then, the number of people riding bikes in America continues to go up. In 2022 alone, there were 55 million people hopping on a bike and cycling somewhere. Whether it's for fun, sport, transportation, sightseeing or even food delivery, more and more of us are hitting the road by bike. This episode is all about Spokes & Spectacles: Epic Bike Journeys.Roff Smith is an award-winning magazine writer and photographer, as well as a long-time contributor to National Geographic and many other high-profile outlets, like Time Magazine, Newsweek and Conde Nast Traveler, just to name a few.Smith's latest work, NatGeo's 100 Bike Rides of a Lifetime: The World's Ultimate Cycling Experiences takes readers to six continents with an amazing list of bike rides.He provides first-hand accounts to some of the world's most exciting and memorable bike paths, including his favorite, The Danube Cycle Path, which he describes as, “A waltz along the banks of Europe's grandest river from the medieval town of Passau to the imperial grandeur of Vienna on a delightful purpose-built cycle path."He lightlights a "showstopping feat of engineering," known as New Zealand's Lake Dunstan Trail. It is fairly new and has locals and visitors "over the moon" while venturing out on a bicycle path running along the face of a cliff. Smith even recommends going down the gully to grab a coffee, scone or burger on a floating pontoon.Many of the most popular rides encourage readers to explore landmark locations while participating in what Smith labels, "Cycling Through History." The pages of his latest work are filled with pathways to the past. For instance, there's a ride that traces the journeys taken by thousands of freedom seekers along the Underground Railroad Route from Mobile, Alabama all the way through Ontario, Canada. It's a lengthy ride that often takes one to two months and is best completed during the summer months.The ride along the Great Allegheny Passage is also steeped in history. Riders get to cross a bridge which was used to transport as much as 15% of U.S. steel during World War II. It just so happens this bike path is what is referred to as a "rail to trail," which is created when an agreement is established between a railroad company and a trail agency to allow the use of out-of-service rail corridors as a trail for walkers, runners and bikers.Another favorite invites readers and riders alike to visit The Punta Olimpica in the Peruvian Andes, which was named after the 1936 Peruvian soccer team that beat Austria. Although a controversial decision followed the team's victory, a protest led to this breathtaking highway that zigzags down the mountains.Whether descending into the the orange-painted Utah valleyscapes of The TranAmerica Trail, to feeling the bite of the cold air while cycling Glacier National Park in Montana, or bending down on one knee in Tuscany along one of the most romantic rides on the planet, there is a bike ride for anyone's bucket list.In today's world, biking has become one of the best ways to get from point A to point B. Whether it is for fun, transportation, or sport, millions of people are hopping on bikes and embarking on two-wheeled escapades. It's time to pick your next destination, put on a helmet and peddle your way to pure happiness.

Demand for their coveted fleece once led them near extinction, but now it has become the best tool to preserve them. Stefania visits Pampa Galeras, to talk to the scientists that work in the largest natural reserve created to protect vicunas. She learns how farming communities engage in the conservation of this species while making a profit, and hears why the business model that once saved vicunas is now at risk.

In today's episode, we meet with Danny O'Malley a producer on Chef's Table, and Alex Rivest, an MIT-educated neuroscientist. Together they directed a riveting climate documentary disguised as an adventure epic that speaks to the heart versus the viewer's mind. CANARY is the film featuring Lonnie Thompson's climate odyssey atop the Quelccaya Ice Cap. Join us as we delve into the remarkable work and life of Dr. Lonnie Thompson, a pioneering glaciologist whose research has been instrumental in shedding light on the impacts of climate change. Dr. Thompson has spent decades studying glaciers and ice caps around the world, but his work on the Quelccaya Ice Cap is particularly significant. Located high in the Peruvian Andes, Quelccaya is one of the world's largest tropical ice caps. It serves as a critical indicator of climate change due to its sensitivity to temperature variations. Dr. Thompson's research involves drilling ice cores to extract ancient air bubbles, allowing scientists to analyze the Earth's past climate conditions with unparalleled precision. The documentary, "CANARY" takes us on a breathtaking journey to the top of the Quelccaya Ice Cap, where Lonnie, his team, and an entire film crew conduct and film the research. At an elevation of 18,000 feet, this desolate, icy expanse provides a stark visual representation of the profound changes our planet is undergoing. Through stunning visuals and interviews with the scientists, the film documents the dramatic retreat of Quelccaya's ice, which has accelerated in recent decades. At the peak of Dr. Thompson's career, he received some devastating health news that threatened to halt his progress. The directors draw a parallel between Lonnie's struggles to accept his health condition, and the broader challenge that many of us face in accepting the reality of climate change caused by a warming atmosphere.  Through their dedication and storytelling, Dr. Thompson, Rivest, and O'Malley inspire us all to take action to protect our world for future generations.
